One of the things I love about adoption is the emotional bond that is created between each of my clients and myself through the adoption journey. It is nearly impossible for me not to become dear friends with each of my clients.  This journey is too emotional.  I love that some of my dearest friends are past or even present clients of FAC.  What a blessing.

I love that I have the luxury of living close by a few of my past clients, that I am now blessed to call friend.  This morning, I was blessed by one of those precious friends.  She brought over her little one and some pumpkin muffins, and we were able to talk about the highs and lows of adoption, and how adoption has greatly changed us from the inside out.

Talking to this friend, made me realize how much adoption has changed my life.  It has become Emory and I’s main passion, to be a light in the adoption world and to watch the Lord grow families through adoption. It is amazing, and it is impossible for it not to change you.  Adoption is life-changing…not only for the orphans that we are adopting, but for us.  I think it may be more life-changing for us than them, and I know 2 of my 4 were adopted when they were older, and I KNOW IT WAS LIFE-CHANGING.  But still, I believe it was more life changing for us than for them.  How are lives have been enriched by them, what they have taught us, what having a family of 8 has taught us is AMAZING!!

Thank you all for allowing us to walk alongside you in this journey!  Thank you for allowing me to call you FRIEND!!  Thank you for teaching me so much about God’s sovereignty through your adoption journeys!!  The Lord has taught me more these past 4 years about love, patience, compassion, understanding, humility, etc than ever before!  Thank you!  I am blessed to work with each of you, and consider it a true blessing!!
